Up to 5,000 American infants and children are diagnosed with pediatric cardiomyopathy each year. Learn more about this rare but potentially serious condition. Cardiomyopathy, which is a general term for diseases of the heart muscle, is relatively rare in children, affecting only about 12 out of every 1 million Americans under the age of 18. Among the approximately 1,000 to 5,000 new cases ...
Part 1: Identify the real need Today hospitals, and in particular operating theaters, have become hubs of innovation. There is a real proliferation of solutions, functions and various technologies, with manufacturers, resellers or suppliers offering tailor-made and sometimes scalable solutions. These solutions are often captive and proprietary and do not always allow you to compose your own ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a frequently used diagnostic imaging modality that may be an alternative to other types of radiologic imaging (e.g., computerized tomography, nuclear medicine imaging). It can detect soft tissue characteristics (e.g., inflammation), and because magnetic resonance (MR) uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce images, it does not expose patients to ...
Different irradiation configurations for typical mammographic facilities were evaluated in order to establish optimal irradiation parameters for improving X-ray image quality. The whole X-ray imaging process was suitably studied by means of Monte Carlo techniques. Relevant parameters were introduced to the program in order to evaluate their effect on image quality. Breast absorbed doses were ...
In the last decade X-ray imaging based on phase contrast greatly advanced thanks to the use of unmonochromatic synchrotron hard X-rays. The recent advances are going beyond microradiology and microtomography to reach nanometre scale. This paper reviews basic theory and selected applications to biomedical and materials sciences. The forthcoming improvements in phase contrast X-ray imaging will ...
